Not Blessed Contest: Deadline April 30

In Not Blessed a story is told not once, but twenty-eight times in twenty-eight shifting versions. Twenty-eight because author Harold Abramowitz initially drafted a version of the story every day for twenty-eight days in February.

In wild celebration of Not Blessed, and in the spirit of collective story-telling, Les Figues Press is hosting a twenty-eight day Not Blessed A Little Story Contest.

We invite you to create your own version of the book's recurring story: destroy, deconstruct, build-up, skew, subvert, or whatever else you would like to do to contribute to this webbed work. Read the following excerpt from Not Blessed, meet the players and retell the story...again, as your own.

Guidelines:--No entry fee. The contest is open to everyone.--Download pdf of selections from Not Blessed--Email your remix to contest.figues [at] gmail.com attached as a word document (.doc).--Include a cover page with your name, address, email and phone number.--Entries will be judged by Harold Abramowitz. Winning pieces will be published on the Les Figues Blog as well as the Les Figues website. Winners will also receive FREE BOOKS.--Contest begins April 3; deadline for submission is April 30, 2010

Please direct all questions to contest.figues [at] gmail.com

Not Blessed is published as part of the TrenchArt Maneuvers series, Les Figues Press.
